Partnership

Embracing the William T. Grant Foundation’s Research Practice Partnerships model,* COACHE partnerships are sustainable in the long term, focus on practical problems, benefit both researchers and academic leaders, are intentional about relationships, and emphasize original analysis.

In addition to institutional benchmarking reports, our partners have access to a suite of other services and benefits:

A Community of Practice

COACHE brings our partners together to advance our mutual goals of maximizing the impact of data. Virtually and in person, we gather provosts, vice provosts, deans and associate deans, faculty leaders, and other campus strategists. They meet with counterparts from peer institutions and respond to COACHE’s findings on exemplary programs and practices. COACHE researchers also work with individual campuses to provide context and expertise on faculty issues.

Access to Ongoing Research

COACHE partners have access to our researchers for consultation regarding effective dissemination and engagement strategies, and ideas for policy and program improvement. Partners also gain insights into important trends revealed by our analysis of aggregate results and to early editions of COACHE's other research.
